Aids

Famous quotes containing the word aids:

    It could be said that the AIDS pandemic is a classic own-goal scored by the human race against itself.
    —(B. 1950)

    Sometimes I have a terrible feeling that I am dying not from the virus, but from being untouchable.
    Amanda Heggs, British AIDS sufferer. Quoted in Guardian (London, June 12, 1989)

    The moral immune system of this country has been weakened and attacked, and the AIDS virus is the perfect metaphor for it. The malignant neglect of the last twelve years has led to breakdown of our country’s immune system, environmentally, culturally, politically, spiritually and physically.
    Barbra Streisand (b. 1942)
